FAQs

How can I make my epilator more effective? ›

Brush across your skin against the direction of the hair growth before epilating. This will lift the shorter hairs and give the epilator a better grip. You should always epilate against the direction of hair growth.

To reduce any epilator pain, we recommend epilating in the shower. The warm water helps to open the pores, which will make it easier and less uncomfortable to remove hair.

Use a numbing cream.

Look for over the counter cream with Lidocaine in it, then spread a pea-sized amount on the area you're going to epilate. Numbing creams can get kind of expensive, so save them for the really painful areas of your body, like your face and bikini line.

Slow equals sexy.

Going too fast risks breaking the hair which may lead to ingrown hairs.

So give up immediately after epilating visits to the pool, jacuzzi, sauna and avoid doing hot baths and showers at home! You can apply talcum powder on epilated areas to prevent sweating, but avoid bathing and using antiperspirants on the armpit, when the skin is still sensitized.

Yes, you can use epilators in your bikini area. However, as the area down there is sensitive, it can irritate your skin and be more painful, if not used correctly. So, gently exfoliate the skin before using epilators and discontinue if irritation persists.

Going against the grain will help the epilator grasp onto the hairs and pull them out fast.

Treat your newly smooth skin to the care it deserves after epilating. Gentle exfoliation will clear the surface of the skin again to prevent any ingrown hairs. Then, apply your favourite moisturiser to get your skin super-soft and glowing.

What do you put on skin after epilating? ›

Do not repeatedly epilate the same area in one go. After wet use, pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it. As after-care gently apply an alcohol-free aloe vera cream or lotion. You may also use an after-sun cream, as these have cooling properties.

In general, epilators remove more hair than electric shavers do. Although they can take more time and effort to use than shavers, they can save you time and energy in the long run. Because an epilator removes hairs at the root, you won't have to use it again for several weeks.

To prevent your hair from growing, you may have to perform between two and four cycles of epilation in conjunction with applying the FRÉNÉSIES cream. In extreme and very rare cases, the treatment may take up to 6 cycles to achieve the permanent results.

Clean the epilator

Before using your epilator always inspect its head to make sure it looks clean. If you see some hair or debris stuck in the epilating discs of the epilator remove them and wash the head before use. Also make sure your skin is clean and dry before epilating.

Less hair over time

The longer you epilate, the less hair you'll notice on certain parts of your body. Epilators can be used on hair from different areas of your body, including arms, legs, pubic area, and even your face.
